Camilla recalled how the Queen used her ‘good sense of humour’ to put her at ease on her wedding day as she paid tribute to her 17 years on.
The Queen Consort had known the monarch for decades before formally becoming part of the royal family in 2005 but felt ‘quite nervous’ as she prepared to marry Charles, she said in a tribute televised on Sunday evening.But the Queen put her new daughter-in-law at ease by helping her laugh it off.
Camilla also spoke of the Queen’s ‘passion for [horse] racing’ and how seeing her thoroughbreds compete would light up her ‘wonderful blue eyes’. ‘You wouldn’t dare question her or argue with her on how horse are bred or how it ran because you’d get a very steely blue-eyed look back again.’
